Appreciate it guys thank you. not so bad yourselves both you samhell and durgldeep, impressive what you do with storytelling and imagery to the same mentioned.
Sure takes a lot of work to flesh out a story.

wow page 13, celebration?

Made something quick today, gotta squeeze the time every now and then. Better be testing things out with the time given.

I started a different speed model session over at cgsociety, this time it was to try to follow a picture and then to set up the same composition as in the reference picture.
Sure gotta admit that it was a lot more difficult than what I thought it would be, a fun exercise nevertheless....

Nice one, whom. Interesting that the reference pic looks almost 3d too
(though maybe that's a mental 'cue' set by the 3d image - or something).

Not sure why I'm dreading Roman/Greek architecture, it's clean/straightforward,
as you say. Maybe just overthinking it; am visualizing a 16 by 16 metre
enclosed coutyard (default grid); as good a place to start as any, I guess.

Good inspiration there (might drop everything else and dive in).

Thank you.
Yeah I chosed reference that had perspective in them, there are 5 others to choose from in the thread I made.
When it comes to inspiration may I suggest looking at the "Spartacus" series. Well, I guess it depends on what kind of building you are doing. Senate political stuff or the homes of the Romans?
... I would go with pillars and a fountain in the middle and then some steps to a elevated area. Damn now I am getting inspired by Roman stuff again.

I looked at the first couple of pages, good that I saved some of those links with tinypic. Usually I keep changing the directiories on my site.
I wonder what happened to gotnospoons?_________________tick tock...

That'll do for intro/overview (the history part). Will see what episodes I can
find on YT.

Hehe, it's in ur blood?

Sidetrack: the video (above) made me think I shouldn't have removed the
forearm protection (from the model); didn't see any in period artwork so
removed the 'bracers' - vambrace, I guess it's called (terminology is
coming back to me, heh). Also reminded me that armour is worn over a
tunic; especially a metal curiass wouldn't be next to the skin; and a bunch
of other things.

Hmmmm... not sure I'm ready for fountain/water issues?

durgldeep, yea I was and have been a big fan of the Spartacus series, it was a tragedy with Andy. The new actor couldn't really meet the acting that Andy did.
The pottery looks awesome. You know you could still have a fountain with no running water in the background, but hmm then again I think they had running water all the time during the Roman Empire....

Trying to do something everyday, even if simple stuff just experimenting....

This is soon the only thread worth visiting, speed modeling over at cgsociety has turned to shit as those activities are only popular once an items is interesting to someone, ahh anyway hard to explain.... _________________tick tock...

Agreed the new guy (Liam McIntyre) doesn't seem to have the same...
'something' as Whitfield - though I've only seen one episode (could only
scrounge one off YouTube). Season one is available on DVD, will see if I
can find it. Guess they've decided not to do a fourth season:

Rigging, yay! And it's about time. Which opens the door to animation - I can
see it now: all your old models springing to life, hehe.

Thanks re character; people will be sick of it by now (was only a paint test
anyhow). Been practicing unwrap in Blender too (feels like old news already).
Currently another round of anatomy (review). Gets easier every time.

Still adding stuff and fixing the uv's, thinking about to add some animals and such... Think I really need more detail to the bricks up close the camera. Will take some time.....
